Airworthiness Directives; Boeing
Model 767 Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD)
that applies to all Boeing Model 767
airplanes. That AD currently requires
repetitive measurements of the rudder
and elevator freeplay, repetitive
lubrications of rudder and elevator
components, and related investigative/
corrective actions if necessary. This new
AD instead requires revised repetitive
measurements of the rudder freeplay
and the elevator freeplay for each of the
power control actuators (PCAs) that
move the rudder and elevator, corrective
and related investigative actions if
necessary, and repetitive lubrications of
the rudder and elevator components.
For some airplanes, this AD also
requires related concurrent actions. This
AD results from reports of freeplay-
induced vibration of the rudder and the
elevator. The potential for vibration of
the control surface should be avoided
because the point of transition from
vibration to divergent flutter is
unknown. We are issuing this AD to
prevent excessive vibration of the
airframe during flight, which could
result in loss of control of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
November 28, 2007.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in the AD
as of November 28, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that
supersedes AD 2006–11–12, amendment
39–14616 (71 FR 30272, May 26, 2006).
The existing AD applies to all Boeing
Model 767 airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on
September 20, 2007 (72 FR 53701). That
NPRM proposed to require revised
repetitive measurements of the rudder
freeplay and the elevator freeplay for
each of the power control actuators
(PCAs) that move the rudder and
elevator, corrective and related
investigative actions if necessary, and
repetitive lubrications of the rudder and
elevator components. For some

Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
ebenthall on PRODPC61 with RULES
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I,
Section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:16 Nov 27, 2007 Jkt 214001
airplanes, the NPRM also proposed to
require related concurrent actions.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the comments that have
been received on the NPRM.
Supportive Comment
Boeing concurs with the contents of
the proposed AD. British Airways (BA)
also supports the need to do rudder and
elevator freeplay checks and
lubrications.
Request To Extend the Compliance
Time of Freeplay Measurements
Air Canada, BA, All Nippon Airways
(ANA), and Japan Air Lines (JAL)
request that we extend the compliance
time in paragraph (g)(1) of the proposed
AD from 12 months after the effective
date of the AD to 18 months after the
effective date of the AD. JAL suggests
that if 18 months after the effective date
of the AD is not acceptable, 18 months
after the release date of the referenced
service bulletin would be an acceptable
alternative. Air Canada notes that since
Boeing was given enough time to revise
a service bulletin, operators should be
given enough time to plan the job
without significant impact on
operational schedules. BA notes they
have been unable to accomplish the
referenced service bulletins because of
the unavailability of tooling, and
advises that they would not be able to
accomplish the AD within the proposed
12 months compliance time without
significant out-of-service time. ANA and
JAL state that scheduling their fleets to
accomplish the AD within the proposed
12 months compliance time is not
practical considering the large size of
their Model 767 fleet, the C-check
maintenance interval (almost 22 months

detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in subtitle VII,
part A, subpart III, section 44701,
‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\28NOR1.SGM

and almost 18 months respectively), and
the schedules of their maintenance
facilities. ANA adds that manpower and
parts provisioning also contribute to
scheduling difficulties. ANA, BA, and
JAL note that the service bulletin was
approved with an 18-month compliance
time.
We agree that a change to the
compliance time in paragraph (g)(1) of
this AD is necessary, since we intended
to have the required compliance time
coincide with the compliance time
recommended in Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletins 767–27–
0197 and 767–27–0198, both Revision 1,
both dated July 19, 2007. However, we
do not agree to change the compliance
time to 18 months after the effective
date of this AD. As explained in the
proposed AD, we have determined that
18 months after the effective date of the
AD would not address the unsafe
condition soon enough to ensure an
adequate level of safety for the fleet. We
have revised paragraph (g)(1) to allow a
compliance time of 14 months after the
effective date of the AD. This
compliance time has been coordinated
with Boeing.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
with the change described previously.
We also determined that this change
will not increase the economic burden
on any operator or increase the scope of
the AD.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 979 airplanes of the
affected design in the worldwide fleet.
The following table provides the
estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD. No parts are
necessary to accomplish any action.

Regulatory Findings
We have determined that this AD will
not have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
not have a substantial direct effect on
the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to certain Hawker Beechcraft
Model 400A series airplanes. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on August 9, 2007 (72 FR
44813). That NPRM proposed to require
inspecting the galley cabinets to
determine if a certain part number is
installed or if a certain size of wire
already exists, and doing related
investigative/corrective actions if
necessary.

Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We received no
comments on the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.
Change to Language in Final Rule
We have removed the words ‘‘if
necessary’’ that were inadvertently
added to paragraph (f) of the NPRM. The
actions in paragraph (f) of this AD are
required.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD with the change
described previously. We have
determined that this change will neither
increase the economic burden on any
operator nor increase the scope of the
AD.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 285 airplanes of the
affected design in the worldwide fleet.
This AD affects about 214 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The required inspection
takes about 1 work hour per airplane, at
an average labor rate of $80 per work

estimated cost of this AD for U.S.
operators is $17,120, or $80 per
airplane.
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I,
Section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701,
‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations
for practices, methods, and procedures
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We have determined that this AD will
not have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
not have a substantial direct effect on
the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
